1971 Map of Concord

About this map

Concord serves as the central hub of this Pike County landscape, situated along the Southern railroad line that cuts diagonally through the terrain. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community in the early 1970s, defined by its numerous family-named landmarks and places of worship. To the north, Jolly sits near Smith Chapel and the Hale Cem, while the southern reaches feature the settlements of Molena and Neal. The landscape is carved by several significant waterways, including Elkins Creek and Birch Creek, which wind through the area near the prominent elevations of Buzzard Mountain and Indian Grave Mountain. Notable for genealogists, the map identifies a high density of rural cemeteries like Magnolia Cem and Beckham Cem, alongside local institutions such as the County High Sch and Country Club.
